Question
Consider the following diagram in which an electrochemical cell is coupled to an electrolytic cell. What will be the polarity of electrodes ‘A’ and ‘B’ in the electrolytic cell?

Solution
Zinc goes into solution as Zn2+ and leaves behind the electrons on Electrode A making it negatively charged. Cu2+ from the solution deposits on Electrode B making it positively charged.
Electrode A polarity- negative
Electrode B polarity- positive
